Sustainability

The modern, global, human society has a massive impact on the natural environment. This is not a new problem; many past societies have also greatly degraded their surrounding environment which supported them, ultimately leading to societal collapse. But this does not have to be our destiny; there are also many past societies that understood the consequences of their actions on the environment and acted in harmony with it. The transition to a sustainable society will be difficult, but also presents an enormous opportunity for enterprising individuals.
